🚒🤝🚔 Our Community. Our Voice. Your Opportunity.

The St Arnaud CFA Fire Brigades Group is proud to support this important initiative by our local police and encourages all members of our community to attend the upcoming Victoria Police Neighbourhood Policing Forum in St Arnaud.

This forum provides a valuable opportunity for local residents, community groups and service organisations to speak directly with local police about the issues that matter most to our community.

Speak now or hold your thoughts!
The forum will be facilitated by a local Police panel, with questions welcomed from the audience throughout the event. Whether your concerns relate to crime prevention, road safety, anti-social behaviour, community safety or other local matters, this is your opportunity to have your voice heard.

As emergency services, CFA brigades and Victoria Police work closely together to protect and support our communities every day. Strong partnerships between emergency services and the community are built through open communication, collaboration and shared responsibility.

We encourage everyone to take the opportunity to attend, ask questions, share ideas and contribute to making St Arnaud and our surrounding communities an even safer place to live, work and visit.

Please see the original post from Victoria Police for event details.

The AusAlert national test is happening on Monday 27 July at 2pm, sending emergency messages to compatible mobile devices, tablets and smart watches.

It will use vibration, sound and on-screen messages to get your attention, and may also play through your vehicle’s speakers using Apple CarPlay, Android Auto or Bluetooth - interrupting navigation or media like music or podcasts.

If you are driving or riding, stay calm and don’t touch your device. Only check the message when your vehicle is turned off and it is safe and legal to do so.

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians throughout Australia and acknowledge their connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respects to the people, the cultures and the Elders past and present.

How are the school holidays going? With only a few more days left, have you run out of things to do yet?

School holidays are the perfect time to practise your home fire escape plan 🏠🚒

Get together with the kids and......

✅Practise the two quickest ways out of every room
✅Know how you'll exit from upstairs if your home has a second storey
✅Have an agreed meeting place outside, like the letterbox (somewhere away from danger, off the road and where the firefighters can see you)
✅Know how you will you call Triple Zero (000)

And remember, once you are out, stay out!

🚨 Building Fire Cemetery Road, St Arnaud 🚨

Early yesterday morning (24/04/2026), CFA volunteer brigades from across the St Arnaud Group responded to a building fire on Cemetery Road, St Arnaud.

Brigades in attendance included St Arnaud, Carapooee, and Kooreh, with additional support from the Donald Brigade BA Support Vehicle.

Crews responded promptly and worked together with a high level of professionalism and coordination under challenging conditions.

Firefighters utilised Breathing Apparatus (BA) to safely operate in hazardous conditions, with their swift actions and teamwork a credit to all involved.

Upon arrival of the first brigade, the building was already fully involved in fire.

A person at the premises was treated at the scene by Ambulance Victoria for smoke inhalation before being transported to St Arnaud Hospital.

Victoria Police and fire investigators remained on scene throughout the day.

We acknowledge the efforts of all emergency services involved and thank our dedicated volunteers for their continued commitment to protecting the community. 👨‍🚒🔥

Lest we forget.
